Next to the body of Heinz-Dieter...

NO ONE BELIEVED HIM.

July 16, 1987

UNNA, WEST GERMANY — NO ONE BELIEVED HIM. Next to the body of Heinz-Dieter Becker was a piece of paper. It said: ''You red swine, you are going to the gas chamber.'' The body was tied to a tree. On the body was pinned an inverted swastika. Becker, a member of the local Social Democratic Party, died of suffocation, police said. The letter and swastika prompted speculation that Becker was the victim of neo-Nazis or other right-wing extremists. Police said his death was a mystery. A plastic bag covered Becker's head when his body was found early Tuesday on a road outside town. A week earlier police doubted Becker's story that he had been kidnapped for a day by assailants who put a bag over his head and later released him.
